5 Confessions That Really Grinds My Gears

Let’s kick this off by saying – I need to share these few confessions with you, these confessions really grinds my gears.

5 Confessions That Grinds My Gears

1. People who fill the cereal bowl with 95% of milk, then don’t even drink it.Then just leaves it on the counter, are you kidding me!?!?!?

2. People asking if they can have a certain drink in the fridge, you saying no, yet behind your back they drink half of it, like you’re not going to know or something.It’s bad enough there’s no milk for Jacob to drink, so the one drink I have in there, I was letting him drink that until I can get to the store. Seriously? seriously?

3. People who take a dump and don’t flush, clog it then expect someone else to fix that!This goes back to the grown man reference, I ain’t cleaning up your shit. no pun intended.

4. People who go to other people’s house stay for more than 2 weeks, don’t chip in with food/drinks or anything, don’t help with anything around the house and expect you to cook for them as well. EVERY MEAL. Excuse me, last time I checked, you were a grown man, you can make your own food, I ain’t your mom.

5. When people over stay their welcome. 1 month is just too damn long, I’m sorry. I’m not getting paid enough for this.

What’s something that grinds your gears?

I'm Natalie, a tech-savy christian single mom of four who has recently stepped out of her comfort zone to find the meaning of life while sharing the utterly amazing things along the way. I currently work 3 jobs to make a living for my kids. I simply love coffee shops, traveling, a total foodie, and graphic design.

I am in total agreement with the cereal bowl thing. And the dump thing. And the guests who don’t help thing. Ugh. We just spent a week with friends in our condo, and so not only did they stay free, but I cooked every meal, and cleaned it all up. Uhhh, I am not your servant! Geeze. Rude much.

YESSSSSS!!! That’s exactly what I’ve been doing since I got back from my parents house, where we spent 2 weeks. At least while I was there, I helped out and offered to help my mom cook and whatnot. If I’m gonna babysit a grown man, I expect to get paid for it, haha that’s a whole another rant.

I’m guessing you have an unwelcome house guest. What grinds my gears are messes my boys make, although I really need to relax and just let them be boys sometimes…..I’m just the only one that picks them up.

Number 5 is totally off. Me and my husband don’t want o have unexpected guests and visitors to stay for a long time in our house. We are very private and we don’t want do be bothered. If they’re a relative 2 days is enough. It’s not that we’re not social, we just want to stay this way.

My daughter will fill the cereal bowl nearly full and then leave it not only on the counter but the edge of the counter where her little toddler sister can effectively make sure it makes it to the floor. I am like UGH. I Also know about people staying past their welcome… like 6 months past all sense of me wanting them to be there. I don’t care if they are family, there is no sense in taking advantage of someone that is just trying to help them out. And then stealing my kid’s clothes and toys when they did finally move out yet they are still family. I know exactly where you are coming from.

My middle son does the number one. I told him he is wasting the milk and should drink it. My 2 older kids does number 3 too and I always end up cleaning the toilet. I have no choice otherwise I won’t be able to use it. Wait til they are grown up and they will be fixing it.

Something that grinds my gears? Those people who just HAVE to say something to disagree, all the time, no matter what the subject. If it’s 100 degrees and you’re like, “Wow, it’s hot”, they’d say something along the lines of, “Actually, I enjoy this weather. I find it comfortable. Most people do.”

all of them are correct though i have some friend who come over for like 2 weeks but they do share foods and healp clean my house number 3 is a no no to me too! i hate people like that i want my bathroom always clean or when i am in the public toilet they dont even think the next people who will use it
